Commodore 128 with SuperCPU playing Test Drive

In this video I load and play Test Drive from an original floppy disk on a real Commodore 128 in 64 mode with a SuperCPU. Since this is loaded from an original floppy in a real floppy drive, load times are poor. This is one of the few games that get a complete new life with the SuperCPU. The video frame rate is greatly enhanced, while playability is improved.

@doritostheking In the "Rise and fall" book the engineers say that they initially put a high speed line for the diskdrive in the c64, but it didn't get in. And the drive was utterly slowed down with the vic 20 compability.

Huge fan of the game and most of Accolade's stuff at the time. Amazing to see a good framerate off this game.

Played this in school on a ibm. It was even worse then the c64. Ah .. good old days

Because of new SID, digitized sounds are less audible.

So i confirm, this is real c128.

Oh my... I played this to death on my old C64 when I was a kid and to see it like this is insanely better.
